Certification of Class II Prescribed Equipment

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) regulates the use of nuclear energy and materials to protect the health, safety and security of Canadians and the environment; and to respect Canada's international commitments on the peaceful use of nuclear energy.

Certified Class II prescribed equipment is commonly used for medical diagnosis and treatment.These include such items as cyclotrons, accelerators, beam irradiators, teletherapy units, and radiotherapy equipment.

A certificate issued by the CNSC for equipment applies to a specific model design with precise operating conditions only. Any future changes to the design or use may require recertification of the prescribed equipment.

Those highlighted with an exclamation mark () will expire within the next 12 months. Those highlighted with a gavel () indicate expired certificates for which an application for certification is pending a decision.
